In Vietnam, the demand for skilled foreign employees has increased significantly, bringing new opportunities for both employees and employers. However, the recruitment and management of foreign employees can be significant challenging due to complex legal requirements. With a team of lawyers possessing extensive knowledge and experience in handling issues related to foreign employees in various industries, we provide legal consultation throughout the process of applying for working visas, work permits, and temporary residence cards as well as ensuring compliance with prevailing laws of Vietnam. Our legal services include detailed consultation on suitable positions and titles for the working visa and work permit application, aligning with qualifications, academic credentials, professional expertise, and the specific needs of employers. Additionally, we represent our clients in working with competent state authorities to clarify the application and the necessity of employing foreign employees.

We provide advice on legal issues related to salaries / working hours and labour benefits, while supporting the development of internal policies, procedures, and manuals. We regularly provide guidance to business managers, particularly those involved in human resources, on a variety of laws including employees’ rights at workplaces. Our goal is to help clients create and maintain a positive human relationship environment at work through employee engagement and support them to anticipate and prevent problems related to the workplace.

This is in addition to assisting them with current staffing issues, ending labour relationships, and retrenchment. If litigators’ assistance is required, our experienced team of lawyers is also available at all times to fully and promptly handle labour and employment litigation issues at State management agencies and competent courts in Vietnam.

Our culture is to provide quick interoperability between our team of experienced lawyers and clients to develop personal relationships that allow us to understand the needs and goals of our clients, both in the short, medium, and long terms with the most reasonable legal service costs. With in-depth legal knowledge, extensive practical experience, and offices equipped with the most modern facilities and technology in the Industry 4.0 era, we can provide professional legal services in an effective way that is worthy of our clients’ trust in our law firm.
